The Impostor Test - Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale

The Impostor Test or the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) was developed to help individuals determine whether or not they have IP characteristics and, if so, to what extent they are suffering.

This test is from The Impostor Phenomenon: When Success Makes You Feel Like A Fake (pp. 20-22), by P.R. Clance, 1985, Toronto: Bantam Books. Copyright 1985 by Pauline Rose Clance, Ph.D., ABPP.
